[5] AccuRev is a centralized version control system which uses a client–server model.

Communication is performed via TCP/IP using a proprietary protocol.

AccuRev is built around a stream-based architecture in which streams form a hierarchical structure of code changes where parent streams pass on certain properties to child streams.

Developers make changes using command line functions, the Java GUI, the web interface, or one of the IDE plug-ins (Eclipse, Visual Studio, IntelliJ IDEA).
